Do you know of any efforts to add KMS to the FreeBSD kernel? It looks like it is growing increasingly important.

Current Linux graphics stack is one big mess, and its propably hard (and sometimes pointless) to port that to FreeBSD, its not only GEM, there is also TTM ... and TTM with GEM internals ... there is also Mesa, and Gallium3D at the moment which is to replace Mesa ...

As You can see its total mess at the time as we speak.

Indeed it is. Unfortunately, with newer Intel drivers being KMS-only, it will have to be tackled eventually. The best time to do it would probably be when Gallium3D and GEM have stabilized.

Indeed.

This explains why we are so 'retarded' of it comes to newer x11 stuff (lack of people to work on this).
